The powerful Foundation?? HD controller allows you to easily create and run preprogrammed shows at the touch of a button. For multipurpose stages, presets can be used to create and restore specific stage configurations for recurring events, like movie nights, speeches, or band rehearsals. Stage technicians used to working with other controllers — such as lighting consoles — will find Foundation’s user interface familiar and accessible.

The Foundation rigging controller is the user interface behind any ETC Prodigy?? variable-speed or hybrid (fixed-speed and variable-speed) rigging system. It controls up to 48, 96 or 192 fixed- and variable-speed motors, while ensuring maximum safety and providing continuous system diagnostics. Foundation controllers are intelligent operating stations that trigger the intricate ‘ballet’ of the battens: motors moving concurrently up and down; manual operation and individual- or multiple-batten movements; target moves that take the battens to specified trim positions; presets that recall target positions for one or multiple motors; ‘cue stacks’ that run a preprogrammed show; time- or speed-based cues that allow for individual motor parameters and ramp times.

Looking for a smaller rigging controller that your back-stage staff can use with ease? The Foundation Remote Station is ideal for setting up, storing, and playback of preset states of hoists and other stage machinery. As an accessory for your Foundation controller, your entire system is protected by multiple user login levels so students, staff, and building managers can each have their own level of control.
